We doubt whether so many clear
cut election issues have ever been so
evident this early in a provincial elec
tion in our riding—or indeed, if there
has ever been so much speculation
about the outcome.
That is not to say that many
people hold much hope for the elec-^
tion of either the Liberal or the New
Democratic Party candidates in Huron.
Most folks are agreed that it will be
difficult to unseat a candidate as popu
lar as the Hon. C. S, MacNaughton, the
provincial treasurer.
No, the thoughtful political rebel
in the riding is trying to determine
which way the opposition vote will
swing and how long it will be before
the dissenters7 voices will be heard
above the arrogant PC progress reports.
For there is discontent. On every
hand in the riding there are voters who
are not enthused, about the Robarts'
regime which seems to go on indefin
itely. It isn't so much any one particular
flaw in the PC machine as the fear that
too much power for too long will serve
no useful purpose in the end.
And the move is on, say the ex
perts, toward a change. Even in the
Huron riding, the signs are everywhere
that previously party orientated voters
are beginning to kick over the traces
and support policy or personality that
appeals.
In our opinion, such a trend is a
healthy indication that people are
throwing off the aged cloak of family
tradition and pulling on the modern
mantle of educated independence.
Though it may be another full genera
tion before most voters in the riding

less of politics, that time is coming.
When this happens, we would
trust that all parties would be honestly
at the mercy of the people who would
not be wooed by pre-election banter
or fooled by carefully worded charges
and counter-charges.
We would hope that in an ideal
situation, all voters would study the
campaign promises, recall past per
formance, weigh the needs of the com
munity in which they live and cast a
ballot for the candidate who could
serve them best, regardless of political
affiliation.
That would be a generation of
adult voters. ,
Ape hangers out
Effective October 1, "angePbars"
or "ape hangers" on motorcycles will
be banned. This announcement came
last week from the office of Ontario
Transport Minister Irwin Haskett.
In case some readers are not clued
in on the latest terms by the younger
set, "angel bars" or "ape hangers" are
those unusually high handle bars you
see on motorcycles—on some bicycles—
these days They are being made illegal
because they could hinder the driver's
control of his bike.
New regulations state that handle •
bars now must be no more than 15
inches "above the uppermost portion of
the seat provided for the operator when
the seat is depressed by the weight of
the operator."
Wfth regard to passengers and the
seats provided for them, passengers
may ride on a passenger seat behind
the driver only if it is securely fastened,
if there are foot rests and if the pas
senger sits , astride the seat with his
feet on the foot rests.
beemingly, the Transport Depart
ment is concerned about the safety of
those who operate motorcycles, and as
always must enforce legislation where
common sense should prevail.
Groups like the Motorcycle Dis
tributors Association, on the other
hand, insist that the motorcycle has
been the butt of a resentment animus,
"particularly from private automobile
.owners who are generally the. least
competent vehicle operators and who
therefore naturally resent anything on
the road that will increase their prob
lems".
Parents of motorcycle accident
victims are relieved to see stricter en
forcement of regulations for motor
cyclists. They have little concern for
the welfare of those who manufacture
and sell the motored two-wheelers.
That time of year
Country kitchens are places of
sheer delight in September. Sunlight
filters through windows clustered with
ivy and flowering plants to dapple the
piles of garden produce. The scents,
smells and sounds prove the art of can
ning, pickling and preserving is not
completely lost.
The spicy scent betrays tomatoes
bubbling in kettles and being trans
formed into chili sauce. Sunlight-makes
jewels of Corn kernels speckled with
flecks of green and red pepper in jars
labelled "Corn Relish—67" with a lov
ing care rivalling a vintner's pride in a
vintage year. Slim, green gherkins bob
in a secret, preservative solution whose
mystery was inherited or perfected by
the lady of the household as carefully
as those of the clerical liqueur makers
of Europe.
It is the time when baskets of
fruit and vegetables may even be
crowded into tiny, apartment kitchens.
It is harvest time and. most women
respond instictively to preparation for
the bleak season of winter. They pride-
fully know that none of man's devices
and processes for mass preservation of
produce of the harevst can really touch
the simple one that includes a/(woman's
benediction.
On a blustery day when winter
seems permanent they will be reward
ed by family and husbandly response
to a jar of home pickles or preserves.
It will have in it the subtle"essence of
sunlight, full harvest flavor and the
satisfaction of a September kitchen.—

It is useless to go on a diet
or to stop smoking, drinking or
using drugs, unless this move
is the first step towards a per
manent change in living habits,
- writes R. G. Bell, M.D., in
the Canadian Journal of Cor
rections. The change must be
sufficient to achieve freedom
from the addiction and more re-
warding experiences in day-to-
day living, notes the medical
director of the Bell Clinic in
Willowdale, Ontario.

Dr. Bell describes addiction,
whether -to food, tobacco, al
cohol or drugs as a tree-like
disability with roots, trunk and
branches.
The first stage of the addic
tion, the original dependence
- the original reasons for ex-
periencing welcome effects-are
the roots, both psychological
and physical. The psychological
dependence may be rooted in.
tration, lQneliness, pain, bore-'
dom, or in a search for plea
sure, or social acceptance. The
physical contribution, says Dr.
Bell, is an adequate tolerance
for the chemicals used.
The second stage of an ad
diction is the required depend
ence, which Dr. Bell compares
to two main trunks — mental
adaptation or habit, and phys-
ical adaptation or tolerance.
Eating for the sake of eating,
smoking for the sake of smok-
ing, all indicate addiction.
STARTS WILLINGLY ,•
* . ■The addict begins his depi
endence because he wants^tq;
after acquiring additional '(im
pendence through the process of
adaptation, he continues be.
cause he has to — the force
of the addiepion is often too
great to be opposed unaided.
This, Dr. Bell notes, can apply
to an addiction to anything, in
cluding food and tobacco, al
though a harmful dependence on
narcotics is usually considered
to be the most compelling of the
abnormal forces in addiction.
Stage three is the develop
ment of branch-like disabilities.
These secondary disabilities
divide into physical and social
problems, and vary greatly
from addiction toaddiction. For
example, in alcohol addiction
physical disabilities are to the
nervous and digestive systems,
accidental injuries of every
type,' and social problems at
home, at work and in the com
munity.
The waste in time, money and
effort, in the endless repetition
of the first stage in treatment,
- the interruption of physical
dependence - with no place to
cope with the rest of the dis
ability, is quite beyond esti-
mate, says Dr. Bell.
It is important to appreciate,
he concludes, that the main
trunk - the more powerful part
of any addiction - is mental,
and that psychological depend
ence is the most difficult part
of an addiction to bring under
control.
Crop report
By D. S. Pullen, Associate
Agricultural Representative for
Huron County.
Weather conditions have been
very favorable for the harvest
ing of white beans. On the av
erage, bean yields appear lower
this year. The range reported
is from 10 to 30 bushels per
acre with many fields yielding
from 18 to 20 bushels per acre.
The hot dry days along with
frost free nights are needed
for the further maturation of
corn and some white bean crops.
Little frost damage has occur
red except to some corn in
North Huron and a few low lying
acreages elsewhere.
A large percentage of the
winter wheat crop has been
planted with some fields star
ting to green up.
Plowing has become very dif
ficult as a result of the dry
weather.
A large acreage of good qual
ity aftermath hay has been stor-

turds are beginning to decline

Bravo Stratford!
basting from the drama critics,
the festival is having a solid
smash this year at the box
office. Which merely goes to
show you how much attention
anybody pays to drama critics,
outside of New York.
It also shows, I think,'that
the festival is more than just a
theatre. For the real drama
buffs, of course, the play’s the .
thing. But for thousands of
others, it’s a sort of pilgrimage
to an exciting annual event.
Not even Will Shakespeare
could fill that theatre night
after night, year after year.
People come for the music, the
modern drama, the art exhi
bits, and the whole involving
atmosphere.
Things have changed a lot
since that first year we at
tended. No longer do you have
to stay in a private home
where the landlady is not only
a kook but plastered, as ours
was. Motels have mushroomed,
but it’s a good idea to reserve.
No longer do you have to sit
on the bank of the Avon, pad
dling your feet in the water
and drinking gin and tonic out
of a thermos. Now you can
paddle your feet in the broad-
looni of any of several good
bars. '
No longer do you sit down to
a good meal prepared by the
Ladies* Aid, for a dollar and a
quarter. Now you can take
your pick of some fine restaur
ants. But the price isn’t the,,
same, I’m afraid.
Yep, the festival has
changed, and so has the town.
Some people yearn for the
good old days, but I think
everything has improved about
400 percent. One big bonus is
the lengthened season, which
gives thousands of high school
kids a chance to sec Shakes
peare alive and exciting.
And’that’s the way it should
be. Long live the Festival. It
was a great idea nobly con
ceived and executed. It’s a
soured of teal pride to see
something in Canada that does »
not flop, but flourishes..
Roll up your sleeve
. to save
^life..
I wonder how many people,
including English teachers,
ever sit down in this rat-racy
world of ours and read a play
by Shakespeare? Or anybody
else for that matter.
I’m sure the number of per
sons on the North American
continent who do this for the
sheer joy of it, annually, could
be counted on two hands and
two feet. And I wouldn’t be
among them.
The only people who read
plays are producers, directors
and actors, who read them for
obvious reasons, and high
school students, who read
them because they have to.
Plays are not written to be
read, but to be seen. Just as
operas are written to be heard,
and houses built to be lived in,
and cars built to rust and wo
men built different from men.
That’s why I enjoy so much
our occasional visit to the
Stratford Festival. Suddenly, a
’ soliloquay becomes not some
thing you had to memorize in
school, but a real man baring
his tortured soul before your
naked eyes.
Suddenly a turn of phrase or
a shrug brings tears to your
eyes. Or an unexpected belch
draws a wave of laughter. Or
an old cliche like, “A horse, a
horse; my kingdom for a,
horse,” becomes a wail of mad
anguish that has you bolt up- ’
right in your scat.
This year we wound up our
summer with a real bash of
play-going at Stratford. It was
great. Even Kim, the 16-year-
old cynic, admitted, “I really
dig that Shakespeare.”
Fourteen years ago, my wife
and I saw a production of Ri-
, chard III, with the great Alec
Guinness starring. It WAS the '
first season of the festival,
when the theatre was a huge
tent, rotten hot in midsummer.
But it was something new, col
orful and vital on the Cana
dian scene. We were thrilled.
. This year, we saw the same
play, with British actor Alan *
Bates playing the emotionally
and physically warped Richard.
There’s a handsome theatre,
air-conditioned. The festival is
nx> longer .something new. But
it’s as vital and colorful as
eVer. And it’s stilt a thrill-
